Louis Tomlinson has got quite a stinky attitude when it comes to people questioning his sexuality.

For, ever since One Direction became the phenomenon that they are today, many people — particularly journalists — have picked on Louis and branded him as the Lance Bass of the group.

FYI, Lance Bass is gay.

Tomlinson has continuously denied that he’s gay but he vented on Twitter this week when another journalist over at The Independent mocked his sexuality again after Louis was spotted wearing a rainbow Apple logo shirt.

The outlet insinuated that Louis Tomlinson wearing the shirt meant he was showing support to Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO who recently came out as gay.

Instead of making the author of the story look a fool by questioning them on why he couldn’t wear a rainbow shirt, Louis made it known that he was furious with the claims in the article.

Here’s what he said:

@JennSelby The fact that you work for such a ‘credible’ paper and you would talk such rubbish is laughable. I am in fact straight. Google ‘original apple logo’ and you will see the one printed on my shirt that you reported on. Trying to look for a promotion? F*cking ridiculous I even have to tweet that sh*t!”

Really though?

Louis should be used to these stories by now.

The gay theories on him clearly seem to be getting the website clicks, so him responding to them is only going to further raise speculation seeing that he’s giving it more attention than it already needs.

Tomlinson says he’s not gay. And with the constant reassurance to his fans is becoming tiresome. Just don’t respond at all, young lad.
